With hibernation habits settling in for those residing in the Northern Hemisphere, do-it-yourself projects such as the Copper & Leather Weave Table can be a welcomed distraction from the inevitable onset of cabin fever. Not only is it a fun project, it is also a practical one--at least for those who require some [extra surfaces in the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-crate-and-end-table).

Conceived by interior-design maven Emily Henderson and DIY guru Stephanie Todaro, the Copper & Leather Weave Table is made out of two materials: copper and leather, hence its name. A relatively easy creation, it involves weaving leather strips into a sturdy albeit flexible surface that is kept taut thanks to the [copper framing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table). Very Alexander Wang-esque, it would spruce up any space.
